python programming

Whenever using pip3 install --user <> I got the following error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keyring.util.escape

I was able to install packages using sudo -H pip3 install ... and using apt-get. I solved this issue by removing all the keyring packages from apt and the ones installed system-wide with pip so that in the end I ended up only with the ones that were installed with pip3 install --user locally under ~/.local.

After this I ended up with the keyring blocked, that was expected though because on that particular machine (my remote desktop machine that I was connecting to via either VNC or simple SSH) I couldn't connect / unlock the gnome keyring anyway.
